Description

The MD421 II continues the tradition of the MD 421 which has been one of Sennheiser's most popular dynamic mics for over 35 years. The large diaphragm, dynamic element handles high sound pressure levels, making it a natural for recording guitars and drums. The MD 421's full-bodied cardioid pattern, and five-position bass control make it an excellent choice for most instruments, as well as group vocals, or radio broadcast announcers. One listen and you'll know why it's a classic.

5My workhorse ...A great Vocal Microphone  Nov 14, 2007 By John Petrocelli "New York Hypnotist"
This is the microphone that sometimes plays
second fiddle in radio stations to the reknown
reigning king of Radio Dynamic mics - the
ElectroVoice ..

I own a dozen very expensive condenser
microphones ranging in the 500 - 3000 dollar range
from AKG, Neumann, Studio Projects, Shure,
Electrovoice and many more ..

but the one microphone, I find myself constantly
reaching for ... especially when using it with web
audio projects which I have to compress and still
retain clarity ... as well as presence ..

It's this time proven German tradition that hasn't
changed much in it's 50 years of production...

And .. unlike the problems with a condenser
microphone where your recording area has to be sound
deadened .. my office is located in an active construction
zone (Ground Zero NYC) ..

The Sennheiser mic beautifully cancels out
the police and fire engine sirens, hydraulic drills
and constant construction pile driving here which
rule out using my other microphones.

My particular mic is over 20 years old and
still used on a daily basis ..

These mics are truly versatile performers and
have earned their reputation as reliable workhorses
that produce a phenomenal and unique sound.

4Classic workhorse microphone  Oct 29, 2005 By Kurt H. Selvig
I think I first saw/heard this mic in the original Concert for Bangladesh, and could not get over how cool it looked. Typically, I wouldn't consider buying such a thing based on appearance consideration, but the fact that George Harrison and Leon Russell felt them worthy, I considered it a safe purchase. To say the least, I was amazed by this mic. As a producer, I've used it for everything from vocals to horns to acoustic guitar - even capturing cymbal nuances that were lost on other more expensive mics. Live or in the studio, this mic is a serious performer that no performer or studio should be without - several, if budget allows. You won't run out of uses for it. The one down-side is that, over time, the frequency response goes dead (like any mic), but this can be factory-refurbished back to original specs. The mic comes with a graph read-out of your mic's unique response characteristics.

5Serious artists & producers should get this!!!  Mar 21, 2012 By Rezivor
I have been a emcee for years. Infact, I started rhyming freestyles @ 8yrs old (back in '88). And began writting @ 11. I used to record onto cassette w/ low end mics back in the day. But in 2004, I bought everything to run my own studio. I started using my MPC1000 for beats, and this mic for vocals. All I gotta say is this mic is awesome!!! The quality is sharp,crisp, and worth the $. It stepped my game up for sure (production-wise)! And it motivated me to grind that much harder with my music. I have became friends with HipHop indie legends C-Rayz Walz & Vast Aire (of Cannibal OX). We have collaberated on some tracks too! And they both agree that I have a great mic to accomidate the drum machine & music program. You can check out my music on youtube if you wanna hear what it can do! Just search for REZIVOR. If your a aspiring artist/producer I very highly recommend this particular mic! I have used other good brand mics @ other cat's studios, and though they sounded pretty good....This outshined them for sure!

5Great mic for your guitar mic locker  Mar 25, 2010 By Scott D. Whigham
I love the sound of this when paired with my SM57 - they go great together. The SmM57 gets the highs and the mids and the 421 gets the darker mids and great lows.

Not perhaps the first mic to buy but a great option to go to
